Ola,
Can somebody please help me out (I'm losing hair by the hour)? I have two
pages, index.php and setstyle.php. If the user clicks the link on index.php it
should send them to setstyle.php and automatically back to the index.php with a
new session variable set ($style). However, I am using sessions and when the
header() function brings the user back to the index.php, it starts a whole new
session (WHICH I DON'T WANT). How do I preserve the old session from when
index.php was first accessed? Whoever can help me, I appreciate it greatly,
and please respond to s@liquidphire.com. (The stupid thing is, I *actually*
had this working at one point, then made a change and forgot what exactly I
changed and can't restore it, sheesh...)

index.php
--------------------------------
<?
session_start();
include("includes/globals.inc");
include("includes/functions.inc");
if ($style){
bc_header("search", $style);
}
else{
bc_header("search", $style2);
}
print("<a href=./setstyle.php?color=./css/bc_1.css><img src=./images/color1.jpg
border=0></a>");
?>
setstyle.php
-------------------------------
<?
session_start();
session_register('style');
$style=$color;
header ("location: $HTTP_REFERER"); //goes back to index.php
?>
